After Commander Liu finished speaking, everyone nodded to indicate that they knew.

On the side of the headquarters, the work is being arranged in an orderly manner, and on the other side, Umezu Mijiro is also adjusting to supplement the losses of his departments.

In the headquarters, Umezu Mijiro was also a little relaxed, although Tada Jun sent a telegram to complain that he didn't do it and missed the opportunity.

But Umezu Mijiro only sneered at Tada's telegram, what a missed opportunity, in this weather, who can guarantee that hundreds of thousands of troops will not have problems fighting.

Don't bring any trouble to the Eighth Route Army when the time comes? It's to let yourself toss in vain.

"Chief of Staff, sit down for a while! We were able to have some quiet moments. ”

Umezu Mijiro motioned for the chief of staff to sit, and he himself sat down.

After sitting down, the chief of staff of the devil drank a cup of tea, raised his head and said to Umezu Mijiro: "Commander, I have looked at the information collected during this time, and I have some guesses about the abnormal movement of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

Umezu Mijiro was also curious in his eyes, waiting for the chief of staff's statement.

The chief of staff of the devil made himself sit more comfortably and said: "With such a large-scale transfer of troops, first, escort food, there is no need to say this. ”

"The second point, which is my guess, is that the Eighth Route Army is making such a move, and they are preparing."

The chief of staff of the devil said that his voice was a little quieter, and then said: "There is information from the headquarters, the Germans have pushed all the way and defeated the Soviet Union, and they are about to take it down in one go. ”

"Although the German troops were temporarily halted because of the weather, what will happen in the Soviet Union in the coming year?"

When the chief of staff of the devil said this, Umezu Mijiro quickly understood, and said in surprise: "You mean that the Eighth Route Army is preparing to deal with it?" Deal with the situation that the Soviets will face after their defeat. ”

The chief of staff of the devil nodded heavily and said: "The intelligence shows that the troops exchanged this time are all veteran troops, that is to say, as long as the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, they can expand their troops at any time without worrying about future troubles." ”

"According to conservative estimates, they currently have at least 30,000 grassroots cadres."

Umezu Mijiro was shocked when he heard this, 30,000 grassroots cadres, once the army is expanded, the 150,000 army will soon be formed, not to mention that they should be more than so many people.

Umezu Mijiro, who had a little twitching in his heart, didn't know whether to cry or laugh now.

The Germans gained an advantage, which meant that the Far Eastern military bloc could be mobilized at any time without fear of a Soviet backlash.

But if the Eighth Route Army in the northeast has become a general trend, the situation is still not good in the face of their army.

Now Umezu Mijiro has confirmed the judgment of the chief of staff in his heart, and he was silent for a while, and the two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to do?

"Whew"

Umezu Mijiro exhaled, and the pressure in his heart became very great, because once the Eighth Route Army was expanded, they who occupied the Mukden Arsenal would definitely grow up quickly.

Now they have people, base areas, weapons and ammunition, and everything they can seem to be satisfied.

After thinking about it, Umezu Mijiro didn't say anything in the end, because so far, these are just speculations.

The two of them rested in the room, discussing the situation from time to time.

The two sides died down for the time being, and on Liaoyuan's side, Li Ping muttered while looking at the map.

"I said Captain, what are you talking about?"

The Chief of Staff is strange! Didn't you say that you wouldn't do it for the time being?

Li Ping straightened his waist, looked at the chief of staff and said: "There is no problem with the defense area, and the recruitment of new recruits by various departments is also smooth, but I can't understand it now, do you say that the devils in Liaoyuan are too calm." ”

The chief of staff narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and quickly nodded, the devils on Liaoyuan's side were indeed too calm, and when the troops on their side took a step forward, they took a step back, which simply gave people a feeling of resignation.

For devils, this is simply impossible!

While the two were muttering, the commissar walked in, stretched out his hand to roast on the fire for a while, and then asked with a smile, "What are you two muttering?" ”

The chief of staff smiled and explained the situation, and the political commissar glanced at the two of them when he heard this, and said: "Did I say that the two of you don't look at the intelligence every day?" ”

Li Ping and the chief of staff were both stunned, only to see the political commissar continue: "The intelligence from our intelligence department has probed the information, and the devil stationed in Liaoyuan is the new division commander, named Kurosawa. ”

"Now we're adjusting, and he's adjusting because he's integrating the remnants of Takayuki Yamada."

"Integration?"

Li Ping and the chief of staff were confused, although Takayuki Yamada was captured and then died, his division number is still there!

Listening to the meaning of the political commissar, it seems that the situation is a little wrong!

At this time, the political commissar looked at the blank expressions of the two, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Didn't I ask the intelligence department to give you this information?" You wouldn't have missed it, would you? ”

Faced with the suspicion of the political commissar, Li Ping and the chief of staff shook their heads firmly, and the political commissar was directly speechless.

"Takayuki Yamada was calculated by us, Mijiro Umezu didn't have a, and the Japanese directly made the decision to ban Takayuki Yamada's division in order to take a breath, or to make an example of the monkeys, and warn them of other troops."

"This matter has attracted a lot of attention, but you two don't know?"

Li Ping sat down at this time, he really didn't know this information, but now he thought of something.

"His uncle, Lao Tzu thought it was a big benefit, but he didn't expect it to be honey wrapped in poison."

Li Ping said something angrily, and the chief of staff and the political commissar were stunned.

"Captain, what do you think of?"

The chief of staff asked, the corners of Li Ping's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have to adjust the plan, otherwise we will have to suffer a big loss." ”

"Huh?"

The political commissar and the chief of staff were both stunned, looking at Li Ping's firm expression, the two seemed to think of something?

"I'm going to go, won't I?"

The chief of staff suddenly understood something, and his face changed and he spoke.

"Silk"

The political commissar also gasped and said, "It's very possible!" ”

The three of them looked at each other and felt troublesome, Li Ping took a sip of water and thought for a while before he spoke: "If Umezu Mijiro arranges me like this, I'm not afraid, but if the head of the devil division named Kurosawa decides to do it himself, then it will be troublesome!" ”

The chief of staff and the political commissar both nodded their heads solemnly, what kind of enemy is the most terrible, they all have a saying in their hearts.

"No, we can't continue to try to move forward, the front-line defense area must stop on the spot and get ready."

The political commissar stood up and was about to leave after speaking, but Li Ping grabbed him and said, "Just let someone send a telegram, what we need now is the information of Kurosawa." ”

"I'll get it"

The chief of staff stood up and went to get the information, while Li Ping and the political commissar did not sit down.
